Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A motor drive system comprising: a motor drive processor configured to execute instructions; a motor drive memory component in communication with the motor drive processor, wherein the motor drive memory component is configured to store data; a server in communication with the motor drive memory component, wherein the server is configured to enable exchange of data between the motor drive system and a device connected via a network; and a display configured to display a machine readable code, wherein the motor drive is configured to form a secure wireless connection with a smart device once the smart device has scanned the machine readable code and login credentials have been entered.
2. The motor drive system of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises a cellular phone, a tablet, or a reader.
3. The motor drive system of claim 1 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a QR code.
4. The motor drive system of claim 1 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a barcode.
5. The motor drive system of claim 1 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a dynamic barcode.
6. The motor drive system of claim 1 wherein, the smart device is configured to communicate with the motor drive via WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ANT, IR, or near field communication.
7. The motor drive system of claim 1 wherein, the smart device includes location components configured to determine the location or altitude of the motor drive for diagnostic purposes.
8. The motor drive system of claim 1 , further comprising local communication components.
9. A method of accessing data relating to a motor drive system comprising: displaying, via a display of the motor drive system, a machine readable code for a smart device to scan; receiving from an external site or resource, via a network interface of the motor drive system, confirmation that the smart device scanned the machine readable code; receiving from the external site or resource, via the network interface of the motor drive system, confirmation that a user submitted valid login information; and establishing, via the motor drive system, a secure connection between the motor drive system and the smart device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a QR code.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a barcode.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a dynamic barcode.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the smart device comprises a cellular phone, a tablet, or a reader.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the secure connection comprises via WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ANT, IR, or near field communication.
15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising reconnecting to a known device by: displaying, via the display of the motor drive system, a second machine readable code for a smart device to scan; receiving from the external site or resource, via the network interface of the motor drive system, confirmation that the smart device scanned the second machine readable code; reestablishing, via the motor drive system, a secure connection with the smart device without requiring the user to reenter login information.
16. A method of accessing data relating to a motor drive system comprising: actuating, via a local communication component of a smart device, a discover mode in the smart device; scanning, via a camera or scanner of the smart device, a machine readable code displayed by the motor drive system; sending, via a network communication component of the smart device, confirmation that the smart device scanned the machine readable code of the motor drive; prompting, via an interface of the smart device, a user to input user login information; confirming, via the network communication component of the smart device, that the user login information is valid; and establishing, via the local communication component of the smart device, a secure connection between the smart device and the motor drive system.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a QR code.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the machine readable code comprises a dynamic barcode.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the secure connection comprises a WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ANT, IR, or near field communication connection.
20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising reconnecting to a known device by: actuating, via the local communication component of the smart device, the discover mode in the smart device; scanning, via the camera or scanner of the smart device, a second machine readable code displayed by the motor drive; sending, via the network communication component of the smart device, confirmation that the smart device scanned the machine readable code of the motor drive; and reestablishing, via the local communication component of the smart device, the secure connection with the motor drive without requiring the user to input the user login information.
